Chapter 0957 Those who use clever words and seduction must be dealt with by those who use clever words and seduction (1)
Li Heng and his wife finished their discussion and arranged everything, and then waited for Yang Di to arrive.
Unexpectedly, after waiting for more than half a month, it turned out that Yang Di had already left Wuchang and went to his hometown in Nanyang, Jingzhou.
When he returned to Wuchang, he and Li Heng went to Jianye.
After Li Heng left home, a rumor quickly spread in Wuchang:
Yang Di, who has always been a good judge of people, returned to his hometown from Jianye and passed by Wuchang. He met Li Heng again and learned that he was still a commoner. He couldn't help but lament that talented people were wandering among the people.
In order to prevent Wu from losing talented people, he decided to bring Li Heng back to Jianye and personally recommend him to your Majesty.
After Xi Yingxi heard this rumor, he couldn't help but lose his beauty and look pale.
She originally thought that Yang Di was a guest of the Crown Prince, so her Alang would belong to the Prince's family, but she didn't expect that he was directly recommended to His Majesty.
Thinking of this rumor again, Xi Xiangxi immediately understood its meaning:
Yangqi’s recommendation of his own Alang is a personal act and has nothing to do with others...
If something unexpected happens to Alang in the future, if we investigate afterwards, it will end with Yang Di and not the prince.
After figuring out the joints here, Xi Yingxi's heart suddenly felt like falling into an abyss.
It's just that Yang Xi and Li Heng have left Wuchang for many days, and they may have arrived in Jianye. Even if they wanted to catch up at this time, they would not be able to catch up.
What’s more, what if we catch up?
If he really guessed it right, then it would be impossible for the prince to meet his own Alang before he came to admonish His Majesty.
Li Heng naturally knew that his noble prince was as upright as a burning fire, so he followed Yang Di to Jianye, and following Xi Yingxi's instructions, he asked Yang Di to see the prince.
Hearing Li Heng’s request, Yang Xi couldn’t help but said in shock:
“Why does Shuping have such thoughts?”
Li Heng couldn’t help but asked a little strangely:
"Yang Jun is a guest of the Crown Prince. Since I was recommended by Mr. Yang, I will definitely work for the Crown Prince from now on..."
Yang Di was shocked:
“Shuping, please be careful what you say!”
As he spoke, he walked quickly to the door and looked left and right.
Fortunately, Li Heng was staying at Yang Di's house at this time. After making sure that no one heard what Li Heng said just now, Yang Di quickly closed the door tightly.
Then he turned back and said with a serious expression:
“Shu Ping, I am recommending you this time to promote talents for the country and have nothing to do with the prince. Whether it is your majesty or others who ask you, you must remember it!”
Li Heng was stunned for a moment and instinctively felt that something was wrong:
“This...what does Mr. Yang mean by this?”
From the beginning to the end, Yang Di never mentioned the prince to Li Heng, because if he encountered Lu Yi, he would bear all the responsibilities and would never involve the prince.
What Yang Di didn't expect was that Li Heng, a commoner, could actually see through the struggle between the DPRK and China, which made Yang Di feel a little frightened.
"I recommend you because I can't bear to have good talents wander among the people, and let other countries laugh at me. The Wu Kingdom abandons talents and doesn't use them. It has nothing to do with the prince."
Yang Di said word by word.
Li Heng was shocked when he saw Yang Di looking like this.
It’s just that he has always been convinced by his superiors, and when he came out this time, he originally had the idea of using his life to gain wealth.
If his life is in jeopardy due to revenge from Lu Yi, he should at least let his wife and children have no worries for the rest of their lives.
So he gritted his teeth and insisted:
"I have received the kindness of Lord Sheep, but I often regret that I can't repay it. Therefore, even though I know the danger, I am not afraid of life and death and just let Lord Sheep control me."
"Ran Heng is dead and his ears are dead. The only thing he worries about is that he has no wife and children at home. If this wish can be fulfilled, I will be willing to be cooked by others."
After hearing what he said, Yang Di was greatly moved.
He reached out and patted Li Heng on the shoulder, lowered his voice, and said seriously at the same time:
"To be honest with you, Shuping, if something goes wrong this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape, so I have already entrusted my family to others."
“You,” he pointed at Li Heng and then at himself, “you and I live and die together. Your family is also my family.”
“I swear here, if your life is in danger, someone will take care of your wife at home, but please don’t worry.”
"If I deceive you, then heaven and earth will destroy me, and I will die with thousands of swords."
Li Heng saw that Yang Xi had sworn such a vicious oath in front of him, so naturally he could no longer insist on seeing the prince:
"Since Mr. Yang has said this, why don't I believe it? If so, then I don't have to worry anymore!"
Yang Di was afraid that he would not understand the seriousness of the matter, so he repeatedly warned him uneasily:
"Uncle Ping, you have to remember that if this happens, you will be able to eliminate the traitor. If it fails, you and I will fall into Lu Yi's hands. I hope you will remember it and don't do anything.
If you implicate others, your family will be rich and honorable."
“If you involve others, your beloved wife and young son will no longer have anyone to protect you!”
Since Li Heng agreed to Yang Xi, he had already put his own life at risk.
Now that I have received the assurance that I no longer have to worry about what will happen after my death, how can I not be able to distinguish between the important and the important?
“I will definitely keep your words in mind, Mr. Yang.”
Everything is going according to plan.
Li Heng’s reputation as a talented minister quickly spread to Sun Quan’s ears in some form or inadvertently.
At the same time, Yang Di recommended Li Heng to Sun Quan "in a timely manner".
Sun Quan indeed met with Li Heng with great interest.
When he saw Li Heng's majestic appearance and faced him for the first time, he didn't even show the slightest flinch.
On this point alone, this person is much more courageous than most people, so Sun Quan was very fond of him.
After asking some questions as usual, Sun Quan quickly realized that when it came to knowledge, there was indeed some gap between Li Heng and the children of the aristocratic family.
However, when it comes to current affairs, I have a certain degree of insight, and I am very different from those powerful and powerful people who are busy in various ministries and have no idea of the sufferings of the world.
So Sun Quan liked him even more.
After asking questions, Sun Quan asked Li Heng to discuss his strategy as usual.
The so-called arguments are either expressing one's own views on the current situation, or proposing solutions to a certain phenomenon or event, etc.
Li Heng was waiting for this moment, but he saw him opening his mouth and saying:
"I am a commoner, but your Majesty has made an extraordinary sacrifice. How dare I not swear to die in repayment to Your Majesty? I have something to say today. Even though I know that I am in danger of death, I have to face Your Majesty."
Sun Quan was stunned for a moment, then laughed:
“It’s true what you said, if I serve as an official and end up in prison, then wouldn’t I become a violent and violent king? Let’s hear what you have to say astonishingly.”
Before Sun Quan’s smile faded, he heard Li Heng say loudly:
"The people I am talking about today are people like Lu Yi who framed loyal and good people, ruined ministers who were short-lived, and framed innocent people..."
When Sun Quan heard this, he was shocked at first, then a little embarrassed, and his face turned ugly.
But I saw Li Heng standing under the court, with his head held high and his tongue like a knife, talking endlessly about Lu Yi's crimes.
The palace attendants standing around had already been so frightened that they fell down at some point and did not dare to say a word.
Li Heng, however, had long been determined to die. The more he spoke, the more passionate and louder he became.
To Sun Quan's ears, this was like thunder in the court, rumbling incessantly.
"Stop it, you just got the official robe for the first time, how can you easily comment on the affairs of the court?"
Sun Quan couldn't help but shouted when he saw that the guy below didn't want to stop.
“Don’t say it’s just a day. If a minister doesn’t take off his official robe for a moment, he is still a minister of Wu. As a minister, what is wrong with admonishing the master?”
"On the contrary, Your Majesty, first granted official positions to his ministers, but did not listen to his ministers' advice. I dare to ask Your Majesty, what do you want?"
Sun Quan was left speechless by the rhetorical question.
Seeing this, Li Heng even took advantage of it:
"If your majesty thinks that the minister's words are false, you can issue an edict to have him imprisoned, and all the officials in the court will be imprisoned. If you think that the minister's words are not acceptable, you can issue an edict to investigate Lu Yi's actions..."
At this time, although Sun Quan was gradually beginning to look dim, he was not completely confused yet, so it was impossible for him to let Li Heng be imprisoned.
Lu Yi was originally a sword in Sun Quan's hand. If the owner of the sword didn't know what the sword did, it would be a joke.
Just what Li Heng said finally made Sun Quan feel a little worried.
After all, in his opinion, Li Heng was just an official who had just been promoted from a commoner to an official. He had a clean background and could not have any entanglements with the court.
If even Li Heng felt that Lu Yi had gone too far, then he should consider whether the impact of Lu Yi's actions was too much and let the countryside know about it.
The sword was too sharp and hurt the owner, which was not what Sun Quan wanted.
It's just the various forces in Jiangdong, which are extremely complicated.
This sword really plays a big role in stabilizing the imperial power!
Sun Quan couldn't help but feel a little uninterested when he thought of this, but he saw him sigh:
"I know what you have said, and I will think carefully about what you propose."
After speaking, he waved his hand and asked Li Heng to go down.
Sun Quan looked like this, let alone Li Heng, even the palace attendants were extremely surprised.
In the past, even when the prince came to advise His Majesty, Your Majesty would scold him, saying that the prince was too kind-hearted and did not understand the emperor's mind.
Didn’t expect that Li Heng would turn him into like this today?
Sun Quan and Li Heng's courtship with the emperor and his ministers is not a secret of the imperial palace, so naturally it cannot be hidden from anyone who is interested.
When the ministers of the DPRK heard this, many people couldn't help but become excited.
The courtiers have been suffering from Lu for a long time. To be precise, they have been suffering from the school and the government for a long time!
It's just that Lu Yi is deeply respected by His Majesty, and even the prince's repeated suggestions can't shake this person's status even one bit.
Since then, from the prime minister down, the ministers dare not say more.
Now a Li Heng appears, sacrificing his own life to give advice, and actually made His Majesty admit that he needs to think about it carefully. This is uncharacteristic of the norm.
Is the day when Lu Yi will be overthrown already seen?
Many ministers have already begun to make plans. As long as an important minister takes the lead, they will swarm to impeach Lu Yi.
Then I will take the opportunity to ask Your Majesty to abolish the school affairs office, and then the world will be at peace!
In June of the thirteenth year of Jianxing, the land south of the Yangtze River has entered the hot summer.
A carriage stopped at the gate of Lu Mansion. A middle-aged official jumped out of the carriage and walked up the steps in a hurry.
There were servants guarding the door of the Lu Mansion for a long time. When they saw the middle-aged official arriving, they quickly trotted down:
“Mr. Qian, my master has been waiting for you for a long time.”
“Speed up and lead the way.”
The official surnamed Qian kept walking and said in a hurried tone.
“Qian Jun, come with the villain.”
The storm is about to come, and Lu Yi has gained Sun Quan's attention in recent years, so he must have many eyes and ears.
The middle-aged official known as Qian Jun was Qian Qin who worked for the Zhongshu Dian School.
Qian Qin was taken to the secret room in the backyard and found that all the key members of Zhongshu Dian School were there. He couldn't help but apologize:
“I’m late, I’m rude!”
"This is not the time to talk about this. Sit down first and then talk about it."
Qian Qin found a place to sit down, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and took a few sips of tea before he could breathe again.
“Everyone must have heard about what happened in the palace a few days ago.”
As the master, Lu Yi saw that everyone had arrived and took the lead in speaking:
“On the surface Li Hengming was talking about me, but in reality he was pointing his sword at the entire Zhongshu Dian School Office.”
“I’m not afraid of saying something ugly. If I lose power this time, not to mention the prestige of the school affairs office that we have worked so hard to establish over the years, I will lose it.”
“During the introduction period, the ministers in the court were in a fierce mood, and I am afraid they will not let go of those in the school affairs office.”
At this point, his face became extremely gloomy.
Lu Yi is a bit short, with a thin chin and a small goatee. At first glance, he looks somewhat elegant.
It was just the upside-down triangular eyes that ruined his entire face, making him instantly look a little clumsy.
His eyes that usually rolled around were now shining with a cold and angry light.
Of course, this matter cannot help but make him angry.
In the past two years, even Prime Minister Gu Yong has been trampled under his feet. At this time, a little man appeared out of nowhere and dared to stroke the tiger's beard?
It was simply the biggest provocation to him.
"Li Heng is nothing more than an ant. If he wants to die, there are countless ways to do it. Why is Mr. Lu so worried about him?"
"That's right. In the past, let alone an important minister in the court, even if the prince mentioned Lu Jun's fault in front of your majesty, your majesty never took it to heart. Is Lu Jun too worried?"
…
Lu Yi said impatiently:
“What do you know? This time is completely different!”
In normal times, he would have been killed if he wanted to.
It’s just that this time it’s different.
Because His Majesty’s attitude is too abnormal.
In addition, the Colonel's Office is designed to supervise all officials, so he naturally knows that many ministers are secretly working together to impeach him collectively at any time.
This made Lu Yi, who was good at figuring out Sun Quan's thoughts, feel a crisis.
It’s just that everything the school office does is criticized by others. Who among the serious scholars would be willing to bear such a reputation?
So the people Lu Yi could win over were naturally good at doing bad things, but when it came to making plans, they were just like a flock of crows cawing, which only made people more irritated.
There are only two people who can be valued by Lu Yi.
One is called Qin Bo and the other is Qian Qin.
Although these two people are not from aristocratic families, at any rate they are from well-off families and have read some books. Compared with others, they are naturally more knowledgeable.
But Qin Bo nodded in agreement and said:
"Yes, this time it is indeed different. Our wealth and honor are all tied to your majesty's respect. Therefore, even if we are scolded by thousands of people, as long as your majesty does not speak, we will still be rich and honorable."
“But if anyone can persuade His Majesty to have doubts, then the ministers who were sent to prison by us yesterday will be our tomorrow.”
"Did you hear that? Am I worried about Li Heng? I am worried about His Majesty's ears!" Lu Yi scolded everyone, "I have told you to read more books, but one or two of you just didn't listen."
“You can make money faster than anyone else, but you can pretend to be deaf and dumb when you hear about reading! Your Majesty advised Lu Meng to learn from him, and he will only be given important responsibilities after he succeeds in his studies. Can’t you also learn from it?”
Everyone was silent and did not dare to say anything.
When Lu Yi saw it, he felt even more depressed.
He looked at Qian Qin and asked:
“You are always very resourceful, do you have any countermeasures?”
Qian Qin took another sip of tea and then said with some worry:
“In my opinion, the people behind Li Heng should not be underestimated!”
The school office was established by His Majesty himself. Is it true that Your Majesty doesn’t know what people like you have done?
On the contrary, Principal Lu reported everything to His Majesty, no matter how big or small. This earned His Majesty's trust.
Therefore, as long as His Majesty doesn't care about the things that I and others do to the ministers in the court, it is a trivial matter.
But if His Majesty cares about it, it will be a big deal.
Whether it is big or small depends entirely on His Majesty’s opinion.
Now Li Heng has struck a vital blow, using his power of words to shake His Majesty's views.
“So the most important thing for us now is not how to refute Li Heng, but to prove that what we are doing is exactly what His Majesty needs.”
"How to prove it?" Lu Yi said angrily, "Among us, who among us can be as clever as Li Heng in making trouble and stirring up trouble..."
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.
Qian Qin’s eyes suddenly flashed, then he clapped his hands and said with a smile:
“Speaking of clever words and tricks, I remembered something.”
